Strike 3 Relief & Peace of Mind

I received a notice in the mail from my internet service provider notifying me that my personal information was being subpoenaed by a company called Strike 3 Holdings. Strike 3 filed this in a Florida court (I live in CA) and I only had about a business week to decide what to do before my ISP had t...o turn over my info. I immediately went into panic mode and searched the web. You will find many ISP defense lawyers (I called many) but Steve was the only one willing to speak to me right away and to a great extent. He took great care in talking me down and explaining to me what my rights were. Strike 3 is a notoriously shady company (AKA troll company) with questionable tactics. The cases they filed in Florida which my IP address unfortunately was included in, are their most shady yet (from what I have learned). Steve helped me decide that finding a Florida lawyer to file a Motion to Quash and protect my information was the best remedy available (Steve does not practice in Florida, therefore he could not do this for me). Steve helped me vet the lawyer that I found and furthermore he actually communicated and coordinated with my Florida lawyer to help bolster my Motion. I received news last night that Strike 3 dismissed their case in response to my Motion to Quash. If I had the option to hire Steve I absolutely would have. He took a great amount of care and interest in my case and had no obligation to do so. I have no doubt in my mind that if you are in this situation Steve has your best interests in mind and is extremely knowledgeable in these cases.

Thank you so much for that very nice review. My clients are great people that get caught up in a real unfortunate situation. We fight for people the best we can, and if we cannot fight and handle your case, then we will try to find someone who can. Lawyering, to me, is about helping people get through the tough times and come out with just a scratch or two. Again, we really appreciate your kind words and taking the time to do that. Steve

The best outcome possible, I would highly recommend it.

I would highly recommend Steve. When I first got notified that there was a copyright infringement case against me, I was terrified. After spending hours reading up on it I got even more scared. As recommended by all of the websites, I sought out legal consultations. Most of which claimed to defend yo...u against such claims, how ever up calling them, every single one seemed to push me towards settling with the plaintiffs. Just so you are aware the minimum that they can ask for is $750 per infringement which can add up very fast. Part of the "settling" process involves giving them my bank statements, tax returns, etc. This did not sit well with me so I continued to get consultations from all of the lawyers that popped up in Google, yeah it's the same 8-9 lawyers. They all told me the same thing, either quash, and/or settle, fighting it wasn't even an option. Then I spoke with Cameron, one of Steve's aides who informed me that Steve had experience and success defending these cases and offered me a very reasonable rate far cheaper than any settlement would have been. I didn't interact directly with Steve and primarily contacted Cameron and Lisa in the process. Steve was able to get my case dismissed in about a month after signing up for representation. Every thing was handled well and I was kept in the loop of big developments. You can also look on the various legal sites that post case information for each district, in my state of California Steve shows up as representing various people with similar cases and getting their successfully cases dismissed. I looked as far back as I could and I couldn't find any other bit torrent copyright lawyers popping up, only Steve's name ever showed up in the results which should tell you something. Thank you so much Steve.

Thank you David for taking the time to right about your experience with our law firm. We were very pleased that we met and exceeded your expectations. We are one of the few software and technology law firms that focus on copyright infringement and file-sharing cases. These are tough cases to defend and you really have to know what's going on, and also know the tricks and traps you may encounter as well as the federal court litigation side of things. Our boutique copyright infringement firm has helped many people up and down the great state of California including San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles, Central California and the Bay Area (San Francisco / San Jose). We wish you the best holiday season and a healthy and prosperous 2020.

We sincerely appreciate your review of our team. Copyright can be a very complicated niche area of intellectual property law. We strive to make the customer experience different from that of your typical law firm. We like to make it easy to engage us and try to be as responsive as possible (one of the main criticisms of lawyers). Most importantly, we do our best to deliver measurable results. Thank you again!

I chose Vondran Legal, because they had experience in working with the company that was accusing me of copyright infringement. They worked on my behalf to drastically lower the initial settlement demand which helped me to save money, time, and prevent a lawsuit which I didn’t want. The numerous vi...deos on YouTube were very helpful and educational too!

Hands down the best experience

I hired Steve to look over a music contract. I'm a composer and music producer. Steve really came in clutch. He was extremely knowledgeable and just provided so much peace of mind during what could have potentially become a stressful time. He researched unique information pertaining to my situation a...nd presented it in a very well informed manner. He was working non-stop for me. I can't speak anymore highly, it was a high profile contract for an internationally known artist and he just handled everything so professionally and eloquently. If you need help in this area I urge you to definitely give Steve a call. Best decision I could have made during this process.
